About this property

Directly in front of Melbourne's beautiful Botanical Gardens, with views also of the Bay and just a 10-20 min. stroll to the Art Centre, Flinders Street Station, Southbank, Melbourne Casino and the centre of Melbourne, the apartment highlight is the location and views.

Additionally it is 50 metres (45 yards) from a tram stop, which can take you to St.Kilda beach in a few minutes, or take it the other direction through the city central.
On each corner (to left and right) are supermarkets that are open every day, closing late at 10:30 and 11pm.

Your reservation includes one car private secure car space, inside the same building as the apartment. Park car and catch the elevator up.

The bed is a 100% latex mattress, King Size bed. 100% latex is hypoallergenic, super comfortable and movement from one person in the bed is not felt in the slightest by the other.

The balcony has an outdoor furniture setting (2 chairs and table) where you can sit and take in the sun set and views. The left side has views of the Botanical Gardens and the Shrine (a building of remembrance for our fallen soldiers), and to the right side of Melbourne Bay. Waking to Garden and Ocean views, while being by the heart of the city, I find a unique and relaxing experience!!

Includes 1 secure under-cover car park (parking in the same building at no additional cost), and use of the Gymnasium (which incidentally also has views of the Botanical Gardens).

Free unlimited wifi internet. No Smoking in the Apartment.

Modern apartment with many brand new appliances. Such as a washing machine, sandwich maker, coffee maker (grinds coffee beans - beans supplied), cooking facilities include an oven, stove and microwave. Fully furnished and ready to go!

Address: 8 Dorcas St. Just a building back from the corner of St.Kilda Road and Dorcas St.

Lovely area

The apartment was lovely but getting in was a little difficult as we could not find where the lockbox was located, we asked at recetion and they helped us find it The apartment was clean but the dishwasher had not been put on so we had to sort that, there was enough storage for the 2 of us even though there are cupboards with other stuff in. The apartment is on a high floor so the views are lovely of the Botanical gardens which we did enjoy walking around, the tram stops are just at the end of the street. I would stay here again.

Great location but needs smartening up

We stayed at the apartment while there was a cold spell in Melbourne and were taken aback with the lack of heating. One small heater and an Aircon that doesn’t heat made it a very uncomfortable stay. There is a lot of clutter in the main room on top of the cupboards. There was no storage/hanging space in any of the cupboards as taken up with linen and blankets etc and one cupboard was literally filled with huge amounts of cleaning products. The odd bits of crockery felt like they were hand me downs and left overs. No toaster. Light bulbs missing. And no lighter for the gas stove. A piece of carpet in front of stove looked old and not very clean. All in all it needs clearing and cleaning and definitely heating as Melbourne does get cold and the lack of heating made for an uncomfortable stay.

Stay on Southbanks in November 23

we liked the appartement on the 12th floor, the height and the ongoing wind kept us from staying on the balcony, not for a minute without wind unfortunately. Access to the tram direction downtown or wherever more or less in front of the door, Supermarktes nearby.
